Looped Recurrence Proof Audit

This appendix keeps the theorem-card trail for the Looped Recurrence Contracts lesson. The lesson teaches recurrence schedules as finite contracts; this page is for checking the proof families.

These cards certify finite loop budgets, exit certificates, active-token boundaries, block routes, recurrent-state closure, and schedule controls. They do not prove recursive reasoning, semantic convergence, model quality, speed, memory savings, context-length improvement, or deployment behavior.
